cspt in one vat, nsmsly the 5stthfe Ant complete disarmament of the hostilss and the removal far beyond the limits o your territory of the entire body oI those lndIsns-uo. oIly those on th, varpsth, but also those who were giving the hostiies aid and support, and vho were living 10 c state of Eemi-hostIlity on the Indian reservation. Finally when that WAS accomplished I felt ths, the citizens of Arlz0Da and New Mexico could enjoy Q lasting respite from Apache depredatiOns, and tue military could be relieved from the intetminsbIe. dangerous and la5OrJus seIyIce of con tending with that dreadful foe of civil lZstiOn.
 Facir in your history oaunot be eras- ed, sSd your people prove by thIs dem oostrAtlUn to day, that they appreciate III iis fullest degree what has been kc- compiished for you by the soldiery of government. Only 6 short time ago I Wss B stranger to your people, but no one could have received more generous support than l did at she time when was encounteTlng the wUrs, difficulties end obstacles m tbss campaign.

 Indeed, l must not forget to testify on this occasIcn to the energetic cO-opera- ton of your officials as we'll as that Of the people st large, and especially to the kindly agency of tue press. wish to say also, ID the presence of the repre- seniAtlves of the Mexican Republic, lhs. 1 vht our troops had successfully sL- gagged the hC tiles on several occasiOus snd continued the pursuit necessarily, tha active operations O; the Mexican troops rendered material sId, and ths persona! cC-OoerstlOn of the distinguish ed G vernon Torres, of Sonora, wss of gres; ssslsIRpcs.
 While Arizona may have suffered severely from Indian depredsti nF, yet her history IS not unlike many of her sis- ter territories aud states, and l trus; that her progress now i1 the peaceful sd- vsucemeot of civilization msy bs more rapid than that of aUy other state or ter r,ioTy before. SuTeiy yoEr people have bDu:ue Viih great pstisuce aud :ortitude tbc seTIous losses Iucldyat to th yearly depredHtiOns and c~uslu,s of hostile IhdiAus, and l tfus. hencefOrih they may rtc tcyIve the sane protection aOd be acc. rlei the full seoutity cusrsuteed Co sil people Q! other paris of tbe country. sni tbat they may continue In ih, rapid develop, ment Lt those vast TecUuFces with which they have been Ly nature so rieLly endO d.
 As ArIz na appears to be the last sec lien of our country to be rescued from the IsvGges and control Ct the IudiaD race, trust sbs msy receive ile special Care ard p.oty ct' Of toe Federal gov erumyrt Her loEg la C C.. M zican frontier will necvssitBte inc govern men.'s occupation so long as that shall be part of our natioDGl boundary. Her inesiimable resources of mineral wealth, her productive soil, her fertile valleys, and lI'egivIng mouDtain regions, all make It land Oi general interest and piece. 10 which capitalists, home builders and health seekers must ind their way On the same latitude as Southern Cali forms, and those most fertile states of She east, ArizOLa Is lsDd ot great promise, and when 1t becomes generally known that gold, silver, copper and ccsl are not the only elements Of wealth when people learn that in some sections of 'he Territory, snd especially m the valleys, slmOst every kind Uf vegetable and fruit, cau, with proper care and in- du try, be produced, then will her re- sources be rapidly developed. l venture ;o hope, tbereforc, that, continuing m this era of prosperity, your Territory will soon enter into the slsterbood or ststes-a day, trus,, not far distant.
 Tnsnkiug the citizens os Arizons at large, snd the good people of the city or Tucson especially, Tor their generous hospitality, I again for myfsl, and Tn behalf Of those ss-Cc.s.e with me Tn the enterprise ot last year, thank yod sin cereiy for this graceful demonstration
